Absolutely smashing 25 y o punk rock cover - "Happy"
Posted by: Baboon Bro ()

...by Swedish punk band Ebba Grön 1978-83.

(...pics from [home.swipnet.se], good site)

I promise you its way ahead of and more Exile than the original... !
And you all know I´m a real Keefster freak...
--- To get a clue on how Ebba Grön sounds; get a thirs Pistols; a good third Clash; a good lot of Stones ´r'n'r-attitude from the 70´s & a whole bunch of hundreds of Swedish boredom grey days on concerte suburbian ghettos in the semi-socialistic 'paradise'...

- Where do I find this works of wonder? you ask...
...At [www.bostream.nu]...
Go to "Ljuden", then click "från Studion" (always the upper menues);
and after that you can choose songs.

Ebba Grön was Sweden´s greatest punk rock band; and very hot in 1979-81.

At the streaming site; you´d better start with "Happy"
(on the Live-section there is a version of HTW, but it doesnt work at the moment). I saw the singer Thåströms next group Imperiet doin "Play With Fire" at Roskilde Festival, it ought to have been in 1985.
Some other suggestions (with free translations):
800 (degress); Beväpna er (Arm Yourselves); Born To Be Wild (another cover, of course); Flyktsoda (for Springsteen fans?, not translateable); Hat & blod (Hatred & Blood); Mamma pappa barn (mum pap kid); Scheisse; Staten & Kapitalet (The state and The Capital[ism]); Tyna bort (very Clash-y, = FAde Away)Vad ska du bli (What will become of you); We´re Only In It For The Drugs part 1...

mp3´s (Die Mauer and Vad skall du bli/Vaskarubli LIVE, note the latter doesnt work, but Mauer is a smasher)
[home.swipnet.se] (Same as the one with the pics above)

There is another site with more mp3.s; but you need to install Actice X etc; place anyhow is [www.negativebeats.com] (a sticky site; and I sure dont know if you could get virus from it. You´d better avoid it!)

Quote Fjodor Simon, bassist: "Jag brukade sopa på Thåström med basen så han vek sig dubbel" [I used to punch THåström with my bass so he fold off].

For a slightly less astonishing but maybe fidelity coloured cover by a Stones song, namely Shine A Light by Martin Hederos from TSOOL (The Soundtrack of Our Lives); go to [www.silence.se]; click M.Hederos-M.Hellberg, then click Together In The Darkness, then Shine A Light.
Whatcha say? (I´m doubtful miself; but this is sensitive areas for me, covering one my absolutely fav songs by the Stones...).
Note that you can create your own - clear sound! - jukebox here. Navigating help & music suggestions by myself is to be find at a thread "Skule visfestival---", at this very moment its placed on page 3 along the thread-line.
